Focuses On an Emerging Field in Water Engineering
A broad treatment of the Tsallis entropy theory presented from a water resources engineering point of view, Introduction to Tsallis Entropy Theory in Water Engineering fills a growing need for material on this theory and its relevant applications in the area of water engineering. This self-contained text includes several solved examples, and requires only a basic knowledge of mathematics and probability theory. Divided into four parts, the book begins with a detailed discussion of Tsallis entropy, moves on to hydraulics, expounds on the subject of hydrology, and ends with broad coverage on a wide variety of areas in water engineering.
The author addresses:
- The Tsallis entropy theory for both discrete and continuous variables
- The procedure for deriving probability distributions
- One-dimensional velocity distributions
- Two-dimensional velocity distributions
- Methods for determining sediment concentration
- Sediment discharge
- Stage?discharge rating curve
- Precipitation variability
- Infiltration and the derivation of infiltration equations
- An introduction to soil moisture, soil moisture profiles, and their estimation
- Flow duration curves
- The eco-index and indicators of hydrologic alteration (IHA)
- Measures of redundancy for water distribution networks, and more
